高一上学期英语10月月考试卷一、阅读理解1. 阅读理解Although English is not as old as Chinese, it is spoken by many people around the world every day. English speakers are always creating new words, and we are often able to know where most words come from.Sometimes, however, no one may really know where a word comes from. Did you ever think about why hamburgers are called hamburgers, especially when they are not made with ham? About a hundred years ago, some men went to America from Europe. They came from a big city in Germany called Hamburger. They did not speak good English, but they ate good food. When some Americans saw them eating round pieces of beef, they asked the Germans what it was. The Germans did not understand the question and answered. “We came from Hamburger.” O ne of these Americans owned a restaurant, and had an idea. He cooked some round pieces of beef like those which the men from Hamburger ate. Then he put each between two pieces of bread and started selling them. Such bread came to be called “hamburgers”. To day “hamburgers” are sold in many countries around the world.Whether this story is true or not, it is certainly is interesting. Knowing why any word has a certain meaning is interesting, too.

Language experts, however, will tell you that you’re never too old to learn a new language. As you get older, it can be more difficult to learn a new language, though.Children and adults learn new languages in different ways. For children, language is their life. They study for thousands of hours every year, because they need to learn languages to become part of their communities. Adults, on the other hand, are already part of a language community. Learning a new language means becoming part of another language community, and adults rarely get the chance to practice as much as young children do.Moreover, children learning a new language are expected to make mistakes. This gives them freedom when learning to be daring and confident. Adults, however, often feel pressured to be perfect when learning a new language. This can discourage many people and make it even harder to learn a new language.When young children learn a new language, they come to see various languages as a “normal” part of society. This mindset helps them embrace learning a new language without feeling like they’re doing something unusual or “too hard”.So if you want to learn a new language, go for it! It’s never too late to learn a ne w language. If you’re older, it may take more work, but it can be done. If you’re a young child, though, now is the time to step out and learn a new language!（1）By “language is their life”, the author means that children .A . can’t live without languageB . lead a happy life every dayC . practice a new language a lotD . are taken good care of adults（2）What may make it hard for the old people to learn to a new language?A .
